“Helmut Kaspers comes with an outstanding track record of delivering extraordinary growth and there is no doubt he will be a valuable member of the West Europe leadership team, as well as a very welcome addition to the global Damco community,” said Flemming Frost, Chief Executive Officer, Damco, West Europe.

In addition to his new role as Damco West Europe CCO, Kaspers will continue to act as non-executive director of the board of TAL International (USA), a container leasing company, a role he commenced in 2012.
